Troubleshooting
Written characters not correctly displayed in DWG/DXF drawings
Description of error
Several characters, in particular graphic symbols, are not correctly displayed in infra CONVERT and cannot be read when stamping.
Examples:
Correcting error
Usually the relevant fonts have not been installed on the computer that is running infra CONVERT. For licensing reasons we are not able to include Siemens-specific fonts in our delivery. The fonts written during export are executed in the export settings in NX; see File > Export > AutoCAD DXF/DWG… > Fonts.
